FAQ

Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Jayton?

115 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Jayton: 70 on leases that are producing, 14 not producing and 31 plugged. The state also issued 7 drilling permits with a well location in that circle in the last 24 months.

What are the coordinates on this page?

Latitude and longitude of the well's surface location in NAD83, the coordinates map apps use. They come from the Railroad Commission's well layers as published, and from its drilling permit files, which are published in the older NAD27 and converted here. Paste them into any map app. A horizontal well's bottom hole can be a mile or two away from its surface location.

Do I own minerals under a well near Jayton?

A well nearby says nothing about who owns the minerals under it. The county's mineral roll lists who is paid on each producing lease. Search a name to see whether the Kent County roll lists it.

Search a name

Is drilling near Jayton picking up or slowing down?

Drilling permits near Jayton are falling: 3 permits in the last 12 months, 4 in the 12 months before. They are spread around town, with no side clearly ahead. The nearest is 5.0 miles east of the town's point. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

How much are the oil and gas near Jayton worth?

The 42 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $10 million of oil and gas in their newest 12 months on file, at the public monthly prices and before taxes and costs. That is what the leases sold, not what a tract of land or a mineral interest is worth: an owner is paid a share of one lease.

A relative owned minerals near Jayton and has died. What now?

The county mineral roll still lists 14 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near Jayton. Search the family name first. If an account turns up, the title usually has to be moved to the heirs before the operator will pay them.

Inherited minerals: where to start

My checks from a lease here stopped. Why?

The usual reasons: the lease stopped producing, a new operator took it over, or the operator put the payments in suspense over a title or address question. Near Jayton, 3 leases went quiet and 14 changed operator; both lists are on this page.

What to do when royalty checks stop

Own land or minerals near Jayton?
